26、The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.

Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.

The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society? Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations? Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.

I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.

【1】What’s people’s common belief about plastic recycling?

A．Almost all plastic waste can be reused.

B．The methods are quite limited.

C．Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable.

D．The amount is unbelievably large.

【2】What can be learned from paragraph 3?

A．Plastic waste is on the decline globally.

B．Recycling plastics doesn’t make money now.

C．Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.

D．New applications of plastics haven’t been found.

【3】Why can plastics make good building materials?

A．They can resist water and won’t last long.

B．They can be reproduced in large quantity.

C．They satisfy the needs of low-income people.

D．They meet most demands of building materials.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude to plastic recycling?

A．Positive.

B．Anxious.

C．Doubtful.

D．Critical.

27、Visitors to this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival can explore the music, history, art and food of Wales. This small country in the United Kingdom is known for its music, sports, beautiful natural areas and ancient history. Visitors to the festival can also learn about the country's language and industry.

Visitors to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival can start their exploration of Wales by learning about its native language, Welsh. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in the world. The first lesson to learn is the Welsh word for Wales: Cymru.

Festival visitors can learn more from Iona Hughes, a Welsh teacher in the country's capital, Cardiff. Welsh and English are now the official languages of Wales. But the English people did not always support the use of Welsh. Today, about twenty percent of the population of Wales speaks the language fluently. Iona Hughes said, “It's quite wonderful to see how the language has developed and how the language has grown especially in the last thirty years. I remember as a child actually saying that Welsh was a dying language, and now I'm proud to say that actually it isn't—it's a thriving language.”

The Welsh people are serious about language and the spoken word. They hold competitions to celebrate their language in literature and music.

Wales is also known for its natural beauty. It has hundreds of lakes and over one thousand kilometres of coastline.

The festival events also tell about Welsh industries. You can see an expert make thread out of wool from a sheep. Or you might learn about traditional Welsh building materials like slate．

And, no visit to Wales would be complete without a pub where people can sit down and drink a beer.

【1】According to the text, we can learn that Wales________.

A．is very big in size

B．has many new industries

C．is poor in natural scenery

D．is famous for many aspects

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Welsh native language?

A．Some English people show no interest in it.

B．Most of Welsh people speak it well in daily life.

C．It is the only official language of Wales.

D．It is the oldest language in the world.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A．Pubs are very popular in Wales.

B．Many visitors like drinking Wales's beer.

C．All visitors must go to pubs when visiting Wales.

D．Most visitors to Wales don't like drinking beer in pubs.

【4】The passage is mainly written to________.

A．explain why Wales is famous

B．persuade readers to visit Wales

C．introduce something about Wales

D．tell people Smithsonian Folklife Festival

28、In France, it is the end of an era. The country used to consider training captive animals to delight humans acceptable. Last month, however, it banned the capture and captive breeding of marine mammals, which include dolphins and orcas. Thus, marine circuses in France will be phased out. The French Environment Minister, Ségolène Royal, cited animal welfare in the decision. She reported that some animals were mistreated in aquariums.

This decision is taking place in a global context of changing attitudes. For decades, marine circuses amazed people with the sight and sound of orcas. These are beautiful and intelligent animals. Marine circuses can be entertaining, and they can educate and inspire awe. Children especially can be taught the value of animals first-hand by seeing their power and majesty (壮丽). However, marine circuses make animals perform in a tank, and even a large tank is not a natural environment for orcas.

This contradiction is best shown in the tragic case of the American trainer Dawn Brancheau. She always felt a strong connection to animals. No doubt she respected them. She was inspired to become an orca trainer by a vacation to SeaWorld Orlando. However, she was ultimately killed by an orca named Tilikum during her show at the same circus in 2010. This was not an isolated case. Captive orcas have often harmed people, and poor Tilikum had been involved in two deaths before. In recent years, a global movement has blamed such incidents on captivity itself. In 2013, a powerful documentary, Blackfish, argued that captivity is distressing for orcas. Public opinion is shifting. By 2016, SeaWorld began to phase out orca breeding and performances.

Royal is famous in France for her concern for children’s development. I trust she has thought carefully about what aquariums could achieve. We must teach children about nature, but that should include respect for animals. In your lives, you can make a difference every time you go to a zoo or an aquarium. Study the animals and their natural environment. Based on what you’ve learned, do you think the animals are healthy and happy? This is how you develop moral maturity. As a mature species, we recognize animal rights. We can learn about our fellow creatures without capturing them.

【1】Why did the author mention the end of an era in France?

A．Because France will ban capturing marine mammals.

B．Because France will make training marine animals acceptable.

C．Because France will raise marine animals’ welfare.

D．Because France will treat marine animals equally.

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A．The wonderful performances of marine animals.

B．The educational significance of marine animals.

C．The entertainment of marine animal performances.

D．The contradictory attitudes towards marine circuses.

【3】What do the underlined words mean?

A．Increased.

B．Abused.

C．Forbidden.

D．Improved.

【4】What is the mature standard of treating animals?

A．Training animals to give performances.

B．Learning about animals and respecting their rights.

C．Releasing marine animals back to the sea.

D．Making animals perform in the huge tank.

29、The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much，and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water.  One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicusbasilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several metres, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”．

But fortunately there is an alternative: corn flour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “nonNewtonian” liquid that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of corn flour.

Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink—and take a shower afterwards!

【1】What do we know about Basilicusbasilicus from the passage?

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.

C. It can run across water at a certain speed.

D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.

【2】What is the function of the corn flour according to the passage?

A. To create a thick liquid.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To help the liquid behave normally.

D. To enable the water to move rapidly.

【3】What is the author's attitude towards the idea of humans' walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is interesting and worth trying.

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.

30、   In Poland the ever closer economic relationship with China has aroused people's interest in the country more than 6,600 kilometers away. Many of them often turn to a popular _______ named Chinytolubie, Polish for “China, I like it", which was created by Chodak.

Chodak had never been to China before. Nor had he worked in a China-related field. When he was a little boy, he was interested in martial arts and _______  by Bruce Lee. But he didn't try to_______ a martial arts star himself. His interest_______ to other areas of the Chinese culture.

While gaining more knowledge about China himself, Chodak noticed that more of his fellow Poles were taking interest in China but found it_______ to gather relevant information, and thus decided to help them _______ launching the website.

He started by publishing information carried on the website of the Chinese embassy in Warsaw, and soon extended the range to a variety of _______in different fields such as business, culture, education, travel, technology and China-Poland relations.

Later, Chodak tried to _______ something himself. When there were important political events, he tried to explain them in a/an  _______  way. Someone learning Chinese or planning a business trip to China would ________ find some useful information on his website.

In the beginning he had 250 fans. The number seems tiny today________ he cherishes the memory of those days. Chinytolubie is now also present on social media, with over 12 ,000 followers. They are supportive and some are often________that Chodak is not living in China yet.

As the website's scale________ and popularity increases, sometimes publicists come to him with news stories, but Chodak still________on following China-related topics around the clock and writing most of the content himself. For the future, he has an ambitious goal. His________ is to make Chinytolubie a recognizable platform worldwide, where everyone can read about China.

“Jawline,” Reviewed: A Chilling look at the making of a Teen Influencer

Liza Mandelup, the director of “Jawline” a new documentary about the teen- influencer, has said that she filmed for a year before she found her 【1】, Austyn Tester. He curls around his cats, who sometimes slink into the 【2】 as he broadcasts on YouNow, a platform for real-time, chat-based live streaming. “Broadcasting”is what YouNow calls it, and so does Austyn, his voice puffing up to meet the importance of the word--his vocation in life. He’s set up a rig in his small bedroom, where he records himself 【3】 to a small number of viewers, mostly teen-age girls he barely knows. On the Web site’s dash, we can see that he is 【4】 at No 28 under the hashtag guys. The conversations are plain, adorably ordinary. In an early scene in the film, he apologizes for a minor problem in his 【5】. “I know I need to get better Wi-Fi.”

Tester lives in Kingsport, Tennessee, with his mother and his brother. They don’t have money. Tester’s father is absent; when he was around, the family says, he was a(n) 【6】 and was physically abusive. Tester’s brother, Donovan, is 【7】 of his sibling’s dreams, which will make him known around the world. For what? For being famous. For being positive. Social-media 【8】 has been engineered such that the path to fame requires only the 【9】 of fame. “When you become famous, you have a lot of people who look up to you,” Tester says. On YouNow, he is a telegenic preacher, a philosopher of cliched words, delivering himself to his small flock of followers. Both parties are prey to a decentralized economy that has monetized teen-age anxiety, 【10】 and general fragility. In such a tempest, they are making each other feel seen. Remember: storms don’t last forever, Tester promises. “Whatever you’ re going through, it’s not going to last forever.”
